So next time you see that little box on your property, take a moment of gratitude. For small acknowledgments of little acknowledged work, that essentially shapes mapping, today and into the future. It’s just a little sticker, but it’s attached to something much larger.
Fun Fact:
Surveying is a practice that has taken place as far back as ancient Egypt. Surveyors at that time used ropes with measurements and sticks. Today we have lasers, UAVs, and little reflective targets. These are hard to see and can be temporarily attached on your fence or boundary line. Some things have changed temporally, and some have not. However, the premise for accurately measuring our world is the same.
